Dragon 334, Malhavoc's Surprise = Ptolus

*agrees with Scad* Better not to keep the suspense up too much I guess...

Uh, I think we've had enough 'rewrites' of the magic system til now, thank you. If it's Pholtus, then I'm just not interested. If, however, it is another Monte Mega-Adventure(tm), well then, that's a different story altogether.

True d4?

hehe (snicker ...)

low power campaign supplement as an antidote to epic campaigns???

 

[Nightfall]

*doubts it will be magic* After all if they want "Magic" they'll just have the guys in the Magic department work on.

I've really enjoyed reading this thread for all the joke guesses. I laughed out loud more than once. (It would be the height of irony to turn Orc and Pie into a 640 page book, since the point of that was to be the shortest product ever.)

I will say the following quote is so true that it almost scares me, making me want to check the kitchen for hidden microphones:

LOLMFAO

that "imaginary" conversation rocked i can just imagine Marley chiming in with a woof too!

Orc and Pie in the World's Largest Dungeon ...

Monte is doing a complete rewrite of the magic system in D&D...
Well, that's it then. The spirits have spoken. You can go now.

A magic system with 640 pages. That would be one hell of a rewrite. That's the size of two 3.5 core books. But of course, he said something about stat blocks. So maybe he did redo magic and has updated all monsters to use the new system to boot.

 

[Monte At Home]

1) It's a 640 page RULEbook (as opposed to a setting, etc.)

Looking back at what I wrote, I can see how you might get that, but that's not what I actually wrote.

Magic's back in, people.

I think we finally have to mince a new word here:

monte (verb)
1. To masterfully build expectations and suspense about a future product yet to be revealed.
He really monted the Book of Vile Darkness when he referred to it as the "Gnomish Karma Sutra"

 

[Reynard]

I can say that it's a new PRODUCT announcement. ... The big project is not an AE book, however. It instead zeroes in on the heart of 3rd edition and the core rules. That, in fact, is the point of it, although it may not seem that way at first glance.

Minis. Something with minis. Remember, Monte design HeroClix. He knows what he's doing outside the standard RPG book. Maybe it is a big boxed set with minis and stat cards. maybe it is a new way of using miniatures in the game itself. Maybe it is a d20 inspired wargame. But it definitely has something to do with minis.

Monte: if I am right, I want a free set when they come out.
